Juddering chalk drawings in primary colours create a discordant atmosphere akin to imprisonment, as courtroom noise permeates the background soundscape. The young Russian filmmaker and animator, Anya Ryzhkova has captured the subversive, insurrectionary atmosphere with her graffiti &#038; typewriter-like fonts which stand out in size and intensity. It&#8217;s an important message.
